Logos/Rama/Energeo

1Thess:2:13; Phil2:13

Logos, Rama, and Energeo are Greek words. (Now, you Greek Scholars and English Majors must forgive me if I spelled them wrong. We can look them up later.) They refer to what I read in the verses above.

Logos is the written Word of God. The Bible
Rama is the Word of God when He speaks into our heart
Energeo is the energy (power) of God.

Now, here is when it gets exciting. The Holy Spirit of God takes the Logos and the Rama and causes us to experience the Energeo of God. Simply said: He works changes in our lives through the spoke word in our hearts and the written word in the Bible. God speaks to us, we believe. The result is a changed life.

Why do I get excited about this? It means that God works in us. It means that His word both Rama and Logos changes our lives. It means the scriptures are alive and powerful today. It means we can relax, believe, enjoy, and experience God. We lean on Him as He completes the work needed in our hearts. We can do nothing on our own. He does the work in us and through us.
